Pedro de la Rosa is hoping Sauber can make a big step forward at his home grand prix next month.<\/span><\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

The C29 car has not only been off the pace so far in 2010, de la Rosa’s 12th place in Australia was the team’s only race finish.<\/p>\n

It has also been rumoured that the 39-year-old risks losing his race seat, but he told Spain’s El Mundo Deportivo: “We have high hopes for Barcelona.<\/p>\n

“We have new parts to improve the car’s performance, it is a major leap.<\/p>\n

“And we hope that Ferrari have now solved the engine problem,” de la Rosa, who retired in China with a second consecutive engine failure, added.<\/p>\n

It emerged on Thursday that, while the cause of de la Rosa’s Shanghai failure has not been clarified, Ferrari has identified a general problem with the pneumatic system of its 2.4 litre V8.<\/p>\n

De la Rosa said Sauber’s double engine problem in Malaysia was linked to sensors, adding that in China “we had different sensors and the pneumatic system failed for some other reason”.<\/p>\n

He also said he welcomes the arrival from Force India of James Key, who replaces Sauber’s departing long-time technical boss Willy Rampf.<\/p>\n

“I think he is the right man for the job and already during the (China GP) weekend we realised that he knows what he is talking about.<\/p>\n

“He now knows what are our weak points and will work on them.<\/p>\n

“In this business it’s always good to have fresh ideas from people who have worked in different environments and with different cars.<\/p>\n

“It’s important to have new people from time to time,” de la Rosa added.\u00a0 “If you look at a top team, every year or two they get new people from other teams.”<\/p>\n
